Kocuria Uropygioeca
''Kocuria'' is a genus of gram-positive bacteria. ''Kocuria'' is named after Miloslav Kocur, a Czech microbiologist. It has been found in the milk of water deer and reindeer. Cells are coccoid, resembling ''Staphylococcus'' and ''Micrococcus'', and can group in pairs, chains, tetrads, cubical arrangements of eight, or irregular clusters. They have rigid cell walls and are either aerobic or facultative anaerobic. ''Kocuria'' can usually survive in mesophilic temperatures. Clinical significance ''Kocuria'' has been found to live on human skin and oral cavity. It is generally considered non-pathogenic but can be found in some infections. Specific infection associated with ''Kocuria'' are urinary tract infections, cholecystitis, catheter-associated bacteremia, dacryocystitis, canaliculitis, keratitis, native valve endocarditis, peritonitis, descending necrotizing mediastinitis, brain abscess and meningitis. It is also occasionally isolated in the microbiome of pilonidal sinuses ''K ...

Kocuria Rosea
''Kocuria rosea'' is a Gram-positive bacteria, gram-positive bacteria that is catalase-positive and oxidase-positive. It has a coccus shape that occurs in the wikt:tetrad, tetrad arrangement and is a strict aerobe that grows best from 25 to 37 °C. ''K. rosea'' has also been found to cause urinary tract infections in people with weakened immune systems. The normal habitat for this ''Kocuria'' species is skin, soil, and water. It derives its name from the carotenoid pigment that it secretes. Isolated colonies on a Trypticase soy agar, TSA plate are circular, 1.0–1.5 mm in size, slightly convex, smooth, and pink in color. Metabolism ''K. rosea'' has been found to be able to biodegrade malachite green, azo dyes, triphenylmethane, as well as some other industrial dyes. Due to its ability to biodegrade these dyes, it has become of interest as a potential means to biodegrade dyes that would otherwise take a long time to naturally break down. It also has been found to have ...

Kocuria Rhizophila
''Kocuria rhizophila'' is a soil dwelling Gram positive bacterium in the genus ''Kocuria''. It is used in industry for antimicrobial testing and in food preparation. Genome The genome has been sequenced and contains 2,697,540 base pairs, which is among the smallest for Actinomycetota The Actinomycetota (or Actinobacteria) are a diverse phylum of Gram-positive bacteria with high GC content. They can be terrestrial or aquatic. They are of great importance to land flora because of their contributions to soil systems. In soil t ..., with a G+C content of 71.16%. This encodes 2357 protein coding genes, including many transporters and enzymes for the transformation of phenolic compounds, contributing to its ability to metabolize plant material.
